We want to talk to you about Goal 16, taking you to a place that fits perfectly into the urban context: the prison. It is immersed in the life of the local market of Rio Terà dei Pensieri and is an object of social inclusion. The prison of Venice is populated by people from different parts of the world, who in Venice hope to find a chance of rehabilitation.
The Social Cooperative Rio Terà dei Pensieri2 deals with the job placement of prisoners and people in criminal execution in the territory of Venice; it organizes craft workshops and service activities for prisoners inside the prison and on the territory of Venice; it invests in people and their desire for redemption, it offers people a second chance to start over, promoting the vision of a more collaborative society, fair and attentive to diversity. All their products are handmade and follow a production chain that is careful to recycle materials, to recover resources and environmentally friendly. The products made in jail are in common use and the community makes them its own.
The last video, dedicated to this experience, concludes our journey in the name of Agenda 2030 in Venice and in the world.
